Haiti that remote island, reduced almost half of all the sugar on the planet. Trigger was made by d as in franchise slaves. Broad from africa. In 1791, they started and uprising against their oppressors. The black swept away the Colonial Administration and formed their own army. It was led by that charismatic leader, Francois Dominique tucson, live at york. Rank, sir james, to regain control of the colony were unsuccessful. Having comes up, our napoleon dispatched a large Expeditionary Force to haiti. The french manage the capture to saul loved your by defeats, but they could not suppress the rebels and suffered devastating defeats. On january 1, 18 o 418 declared independence, the 1st one in the whole latin america. However, freedom was paid for with the blood of 200000 courageous haitians who had sacrificed their lives for the abolition of slavery on our planet. The events in haiti were the only successful uprising of slaves in history when they not only through of slavery, but also began to rule their state the barbara by im rick sanchez and these are the stories that you need to know about today. India has a us style corruption problem, a big one. Bizarre handshake between my crohn and the president , she, one that you have to see. Also as a dead puppy, a dead puppy, a did puppy becomes the countrys most important new story right now. Yeah. It is. This is direct impact. Lets do it. The media has a corruption problem. Its getting a lot of news these days. You want to see what it looks like by the way. I just this, this video, this, this, this image is amazing. Go ahead, victor, showing the victim, look at that. You see that what youre looking at right there is the lute from what police and india are calling one of the biggest ever black money holes by any Single Agency and a single operation in the countrys history. Now obviously the currency in india is rupees, but if those were american dollars, youd be looking at roughly 35000000. 00. If you want to know what that is from basically corruption correction, government officials taking what appears to be bribes from Construction Projects and other assorted entities. And when the morning government apparently credit right, goes to the mo, the government, if its true, what are your reports or the motive government found out about this . They sent it authorities and authorities conducted raids. And, and thats what led to that, lou, that i just showed you all that money there. By the way, before we get to high in our horse, you know about the corruption and other countries or not us. Lets not forget what youre seeing right there in india is likely not too different from what happens here, except here in the us. It tends to be dark money. It comes from individuals that comes from corporations and for the most part its legal, legal, legal, bribery, yeah, thats right. There were some Citizens United credit president modi when he found out about this. He held a News Conference and heres what he said. And im going to go down to the deck and off today, balance of Currency Notes are being found in the neighboring state jargon. People are saying he did the 5th day money is being taken by modi. Now tell me if i stop there says to stop their earning. Im or stop there lou, would they abuse moody or not . Im with you, but i should i do this work or not got to do it says hes got to do the work and even for that is being criticized. By the way, dont worry about mowdy not waiting is election that looks like its going to be a landslide on another side of the story. And i think this is really important when we look at this is the fact that the Indian Government recently has been making overtures, right . We reported this what last week with the United States, with, with tesla, with the law mosque, with the black rock, etc. And i guess you can help and think that, well if, if they want to be like the United States, well, lease, or start to get the corruption part right . Manila chang joins me to talk a little bit about this. But what, what is your take on this situation in, in india vanilla . A couple of things we have to point out here. So that big pile of money, right . Is Something Like 202300 1000000 rupees that were found in the Rural Development ministers. Domestic helpers, bedroom. So basically this is, this is like the, the, the made if you will, i dont know if its a man also in, but the domestic helpers, federal. So either this is corruption or the Development Minister pays really, really well. Whats your right, this is american style. I wouldnt know, but i would just think of what weve been talking about how india is the economy is zooming soon to be the 2nd or 3rd biggest economy in the world may be reaching any, be 10 trillion. Theyre doing so well. The domestic help is paid in the millions of dollars. I think thats a fascinating point. You raised, i wanna move on to Something Else now. No, go ahead. Can i do want one more thing . Sure. On the american part here, we need to point out that its not just Citizens United, rick, its also nowadays, its somewhat blatantly out in the open if we compare whats happening right now. Right. This very moment right here in washington with the new jersey democratic congressman bob menendez. There was a rate on his home just this past the deeper they found half a 1000000. 00 in cash stuck in random spots in his house and coat pockets and shoes, and his wifes extra purses and gold borrowed bars. Its exactly said in congressmen with open indictment charges, so you know, theyre, theyre really going after the american style over there in india. I want to show you another piece of video now that caught my attention. This is fascinating and i think when you see it, youre going to think about the same thing that i thought when i watch this video. Go ahead a play this victor. This is a presidency of china meeting with president mac cronan for it. Look at the handshake, look at the eyes right. There it is. If you can tell for whom this is a big deal and for a home, this is not the one guys impressed and wants to show that all the other guys, like whatever the handshake tells everything. Maybe one more time. Victor, if you, if you can show that video, look at their expressions its, its the start of a 2 day visit and according to the Associated Press and other reports coming out of them, a crown is trying to woo g. Well, trying to get him to turn on russia, china is been mostly somewhere between neutral or supportive. Depends on what you read of russia and the ukraine conflict. Mcclung is trying to turn him. But judging from the pix manila, as far as im not a body language expert, but whatever my crime is selling, im not sure she is buying. Yeah, im no body language expert either, but you know, usually if youre trying to court somebody, ive been a lady that was single once upon a time and you can read from body language, right . When a lady is not interested, she crosses her leg the other way. Her feet are pointing in the other direction. She looks away from you. Thats exactly what were seeing here with president cheese or microphone is trying to court china to play ball with the you and whats france. I dont think this is a great start to this to day state visit slash date. I would agree with you, although those guards, they look really cool by the way. Just saying, um, who dresses like that . Look at what happened at a Commencement Ceremony recently. What im about to show you occurred at the university of michigan roland. Now this is fascinating because as we watch this and i think weve got some sound that should come up here, people are reacting to these protesters. So suddenly stood up. This is totally organic in the middle of a graduation ceremony. And, and they stood up and essentially, you know, what theyre arguing is that the, you know, situation and gaza should be controlled, that the United States should stop giving money to israel and theyre supportive of palestinians. Whats fascinating is it wasnt like other protests because most of the people in the audience, among them, students and their families stood up and applauded them while they were doing this organic process. Usually what . Yeah, i think its important to point out that this is the university of michigan and arbor graduation. This is the big graduation ceremony. Tens of thousands of people were in the stand similar to like a football game. Yeah. And when this protest does many protests kind of broke out one, it was completely peaceful. As you can see, there was no counter demonstrations that made a scene, but we should point out the michigan, michigan, the state of michigan is holding to the biggest arab American Population in the United States. So i think this, this particular feeling and sentiment is supported by so many people and friends of people that are um, have families impacted over in palestine right now. So i think, you know, this is reflective of whats happening here in the United States. And its also reflective in many ways of how the people in the United States at the time dont agree with either their media or their politicians who are telling a very different story. And the fact that Something Like this, as you and i just discuss, can happen organically, is what really is the driver and Something Like this, which really i think makes a difference. And why i think this is going to be ongoing story, especially when it comes to the election of the president of the United States right now. Joe biden, or at least what hes trying to do to get re elected. All right, i never michigan to swing state rec, bring one day. Im forget something just happened in um, something just happen in, in, in the news world and cable news in particular. And i want you to see this, this, this is possibly one of the most foolhardy, most ridiculous comments ive ever heard from a cnn news presenter in. Busy ive heard a lot, remember the santa bash, i used to work with them as most of you know, i worked at cnn and i worked at fox and i worked at the, you know, a lot of other networks. But when i worked at cnn, she was one of my colleagues, shes suggesting that prior to october 7th, palestinians lived wonderful peaceful lives in a ceasefire situation. Then she goes on to say that too many Jewish Americans are feeling uncomfortable right now. Shes fair to say that, but isnt that simply a byproduct of free speech . Some people are made uncomfortable when you have free speech. Democratic republicans feel uncomfortable. Its the other way around. Angle americans make some African Americans feel uncomfortable and vice versa versa. But wait, im about to play this for you. Okay. And it gets worse because according to bash, the pro palestinian supporters should be compared to wait for it not seats. Here this is protest started peacefully with legitimate questions about the war, but in many cases they lost the plot. Theyre calling for a ceasefire. Well, there was a cease fire on october 6th, the day before. How mos terrorist brutally murdered more than a 1000 people inside israel and took hundreds more as hostages now protesting the way the israel and government. These rarely Prime Minister is prosecuting. The retaliatory war against and loss is one thing. Making jewish students still unsafe at their own schools is unacceptable and it is happening way too much. Right now im, are you still a students . I deserve to go here. We pay tuition. This is our school and theyre not letting me walk in. My cost is over there, i want to use that interest was like what you let me go in this going to be over in a 2nd. Just let me and my friends go in again. What you saw is 2024 in los angeles, hearkening back to the 19 thirtys in europe. And i do not say that lightly. What in the hell . Compelling a protest because some young man cant get into his school for one entrance. By the way, you can go through the other entrance, but he wants to go inside the entries. Is the same as people being slaughtered in nazi germany. Jews being essentially sent to concentration camps it seems on for habitable to me, manila, your thoughts . Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, i think thats crazy that she would go out that far, rick, to say that this is comparable to nazi germany. I mean, to your point, everybody has feelings and everybodys going to have them hurt once in a while. You can feel how you want only you are in control of how you feel these students who are demonstrating so long as itd be peaceful. And theres no physical violence. The students have the right to do that. Now this kid like you said he, theres a 1000000 entrances. You silly you feel like as a huge campus, im sure he could find a different way around. But this harkens back to the 19 fifties and sixties right here in the United States. When somebody like rosa parks decides to not get up out of her seat. Did the white lady that demanded that seat . Did she feel uncomfortable problem . Yeah, yeah. You know, how come all right. Listen, im hispanic. I know how many hispanics in the United States are often made uncomfortable when theyre called illegal old. Busy their ancestors have been here for 300 years. Im sure Asian Americans are often made uncomfortable. And in fact, i know that thats happening right now in certain parts of the west part of the United States. This is part of free speech. People are made uncomfortable. Now or, oh yeah, this, this, the good and the bad free speech is there to allow people to voice. Whatever that opinion is, sometimes its hateful. Sometimes its hurtful. But you know what . You cannot legislate hate if you believe somebody is hateful. You cant legislate hate that comes from the heart. What you can legislate against is physical acts of violence and we already have laws around that. We dont need dana bash lecturing, people about peoples feelings, how they should protect feeling. Yeah, no, i listen. Uh, i could not. I think most americans agree with you 100 percent. Thanks. Partner. Good to see you take good care of the family. All right, when we come back, is the us preparing for a war with china . And is that why were sending taiwan so many billions of dollars and money and weapons . Were going to talk to the author of that report. Okay. J know, joins us. Hes up next. Dont go away. The the the, what is part of the, the employee would post good. Isnt the defense you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present . Good. Lets stop without cases. Lets go out of the say welcome back. This is direct impact and im rick sanchez. K j no is a journalist, hes a political enlist, hes a writer, and a teacher is specializing in the geo politics of egypt. Pacific region. And we joined him now or should i say he joins us to j. Thank so much for being with us. Pleasure to be with you. Hey, so you recently wrote, and i read with interest that the us sending Communication Systems to taiwan is like painting eyes on buddha. It just thought was a fascinating way to express yourself and you go on to say that it could be a leaf, a link, and a Trans National coalition killed chain for a war with china. But those are big words, scary words. What do you mean . Explain us, explain that to us as well. The term Trans National till chain is not my language. Its the language of the us military. This is how they describe what theyre doing, that theyre building out a Trans National kill chain against china. What that means specifically, is that theyre giving the trip to cool data link system to the tie one military that allows them to share a common operational and tactical picture of the battle field with the United States, with south korea, with japan who theyre all carolling into uh, you know, this Multinational Coalition for us to, in my opinion, wage war against china. So it literally is, as i put it like painting the eyes on the boat or when you build a boat, a sculpture or you paint one. That is the last piece that you paint, and when that is done, its considered that the statute is seeing it. It can see it has this vision. And thats what this link 16 does. Im wondering if you had a chance to save this video of the present and she going to paris to meet with the president of the president , the crown of france. And the story is frances now trying to woo, she even though theyve had some Serious Problems in the past. And as you look at this picture, it looks like she is not buying whatever metronome is selling. Tell us about the relationship between these 2 men and these 2 countries. Well, its a complex one. On the one hand, a china does one to reach out to europe. Certainly, it seems that my call is a person that he sees as a potential ally in europe. The rest of the e. U is, is not favorably disposed. Certainly, the 5 buys a and all the countries are not well disposed to china or why not. You said what, why, why not what, what are you trying to say with that . Essentially the following the lead of the United States, which is escalating to war with china, its very clear to what it was like. So why do you invite a guide to your house and shake his hand or try to shake his hand and he doesnt really want to shake your hand lee from what i can tell right there. If you, if you really hate them and you want to go to work with them, let me go, no more. I mean, i want to kill you and i want to kill your people. But by the way, come on in and have some hors doeuvres. What the hell is that all about . Well, you know, the chinese dont want to kill anybody. They want good relations. They want to good trade relations with china, with your, with the rest of the world. Thats what theyre doing. They build, they dont bomb. It is the United States, which is in circling china with 330. 00 bases. Its placing missiles on every single one of the islands of the 1st island shane intermediate, nuclear, intermediate range, messiah of the gift. China. Absolutely no strategic, that, that it has to react immediately. And those miss styles could be new, clear. And so this is a situation very, very similar to what we saw in the ukraine. Now, why does the u. S. One to do this . One makes me think the us wants to do this. Well, certainly theres the massive Information Warfare and that level of information worth is what you see in preparation for genetic war. You also see the shaping of the environment. Im talking about military exercises. Im talking about pre positioning of troops and logistical elements as well as fuel. Im talking about this inc. Gridable escalation. This building together of lines is this constant rehearsal of war exercises against china. Very, very much in your face. Very, very real. These are not, you know, these are not just standard run of the mill exercises. And then the most important thing is you see the constant publication. You see the us constantly using its proxies, namely the philippines and other countries to drive into the paint over and over again, trying to draw the file. Thats what you see happening right now. You know, there are yeah, im sorry, i didnt mean to interrupt, but i wanted to pick up on what you were about to say about troops. And theres an image that to few americans understand that i think is a martin. And that is what you mentioned about these military exercises that seems to be going on. Seemed to be going on constantly by the way. There were military exercises in the black sea just before we invaded ukraine. There are now military exercises in the areas of the South China Sea and even around taiwan, which makes people think if you did it before, youll do it again. But this is the point i wanted to make to you that i think too few in the west understand because the media doesnt cover. This wouldnt be the same. Like i happen to be talking to right now from south florida. Im in, were in miami. If tomorrow, either the russians or the chinese or the iranians, or any country, or even maybe one of our allies started doing military exercises off the coast of miami beach. While people are on the beach signing themselves. And they watch the soldiers and jumping out of helicopters and, you know, missiles being fired, of course, called missiles, or whatever being fired up if theyre killing anybody off the coast of miami beach, it will not be the same as what people in china are seeing with us and its allies doing military exercises off their coast, or am i wrong . No, youre absolutely right. Thats exactly what theyre saying. Seeing. And not only are they saying, you know, these x, i send you the, in recent exercises they using like half a 1000000. 00 missed solves, theyve actually firing them and using them in live exercises. You dont usually do that unless youre getting very, very serious about war. But the key thing that i want to point out is right now, the United States has troops on jenman island, which is about 3 kilometers away from the chinese mainland. Thats one of the small islands that belongs to taiwan province. But it is so close that it is within visual distance of shipment. The major mainland city. This is like the chinese p l. A. Placing troops onto west or if they were doing ex sizes. If you would p l, a troops placed onto west, would the United States consider that to be some kind of a probably cation. All right, let me push and let me, let me push back on that just a little bit because i certainly understand the point thats very well made by you. And i think the example of key west or miami beach, or even the bahamas or puerto rico would certainly fit whats going on in the South China Sea. But lets move away from the south trying to see. Lets talk a little bit about whats going on in taiwan. As the Us State Department sees that taiwan is a country that is being threatened by china. They say that again, the us, the Department Says the taiwan is a country that is being threatened by china. China would argue what china would argue, what exactly the United States itself agrees to that. The Us State Department agrees that taiwan is not a country. They agree that there is only one china. This is in the state department website. You can go up and read it and so theres only one. China and taiwan is a province. It is a part of the china and the p r. C. This is the legitimate government the but that, but let me do something. What was recognized. Yes, but let me just stop here with you just be communicate, i get it. And i think most of the nomenclature that youre stating is correct from what i have read as well. But then the us would argue, yeah, but theres a very strong separatist movement in taiwan. There are people in taiwan who no longer want to be a part of china that has its historic roots as well. Therefore, china should back to hell off and let us go in there and help these for taiwan. These people establish their independence to which you say what to which i say 1st, that is not true. The vast majority of people on taiwan island want to keep the status quote and the constitution itself recognizes the tie one. Providence is part of china and they have never had the votes to be able to change that in their own constitution. So both the Us State Department, the taiwanese constitution, the taiwanese people, the united nations, and the vast majority of people on the planet recognize taiwan as a part of china, k j, a final port before we run out of time. I would be remiss if i didnt ask you about whats going on in india. I know, you know, the region it looks like body is going to be a re re elected by a landslide. What are the pitfalls there that they need to be concerned about, and is there an issue with the relationship with china that continues . Well, i think there is a ongoing relationship with china that is very problematic. The United States has created the quad formation, which is essentially using india as the left tackle against china in this, in stockholm. And that is to say, the quad is the us, india, australia and japan. And they are kind of a block that they are forming in order to contend and contain china along with august. Jack us just as its one of a series of what they referred to as many lateral alliances that they want to stitch together into a plan. Nation, the nato, to essentially take down china. India is very, very important in this, but india also has a dual role because it has not come along for the ride completely. It still has good relations with russia. This has to do with historical reasons. And this, its partially in the dog house and partially at the dining table and a little remains to be seen which way india will go. Final question, yes or no more crown the u. S. Other western countries will be able to convince china to back off its adherents and its a amicable relationship with china. Yes or no trip, papa . I dont think so. Going to happen. Got it. Okay. J. Know its a pleasure to be able to talk to you. Congratulations. On your writings and well be looking forward to talking to you here once again. Thank you. Always a pleasure. Before we go, i want to remind you of something thats our mission, really up to the silo, the world. I mean, thats why we do this show, right . Weve got to stop living in these little boxes where only are truth matters or maybe me and my neighbor, etc, to still live in boxes, too, sir, everywhere. Thats what we try to say here, night and night out. Im rick sanchez and well be looking for you again next time right here. Hoping to make a direct impact the the is where any forces take the goals or the side of the route. So crossing with egypt on the control house despite, im not saying its willing to accept this, these 5 proposal that you have being worn. And thats, thats the worst thing message from us lawmakers to the International Criminal court prosecute to have a comfortable arrest warrant for its really official pull. So just saw the russian president vladimir who to put in for a new 60 it to say hes determined to either come another area the difficult
